enn: In order to figure out how to play the Ave Maria, I had to take a picture of the musical notation in Duane's speech bubble with my phone (since it disappears so quickly), and then my girlfriend, who reads music, was able to tell me which notes those were.

I'm wondering, is there any alternate way to solve this puzzle without being able to read music? So few people have that skill that I'm having a hard time imagining that Revolution would require it in order to complete the game.

enn: I'm entirely un-musical and tone-deaf. I really couldn't tell you which note is higher than which other note. And the "correct" sequence of notes did not sound anything like Duane's whistling to me.

It just seemed a little odd that the puzzle would require so much out-of-game background knowledge/skill--especially in a game that otherwise seems to spell out every little detail that a player might conceivably not know, translating even the simplest Latin phrases whose meaning would be clear to anyone with a decent knowledge of English root words, or telling us who well-known people like Mary Magdalene are.

spock84: As someone who hates whistling, that was a really annoying puzzle to me.

hscott2hughes: Would you believe that I actually have a university degree in music, but ever since I was a child to this very day at 42 years old...I cannot whistle. I am a grown man who majored in music and taught music in public schools, but I have never been able to learn to whistle. I don't know what it is about my particular lips or whatever it is I'm doing wrong, but I can't whistle. How weird is that?
